Default leaky oil pan
Is there any way to temporary fix a leaky oil pan until the warmer weather. I live in Buffalo NY.

Default leaky oil pan
It looks like the oil pan is corroded. The oil is ozing out.

Drain the oil, clean the pan really well. And I mean REALLY well. Then smear some epoxy (jb weld) on the leaky spots, let it cure, add oil. When warmer weather comes, replace the pan.

Or POR-15. It bonds to the rust.

That would probably work fairly well. Put it on nice and thick.

Permatex Ultra black RTV would probably work too. Brake clean would be best for cleaning the pan.
